If you're looking for an RSS reader, NewsRack is the best I've found so far.
I'm going to be using the iPad to replace my notebook (the paper kind, old fashioned I know). I'm looking for an app that will allow me to take notes at meetings and create a list of actions for me to do(add dates to complete etc). I know I could do this with two seperate apps, but has anyone got experience of one app, as I don't want to have to open and close apps all the time (well at least until OS4).
Don't mind paying if it's a good app.

How about things for ipad?
Apologies for the advert, I HATE those, they show virtually no useful information.

Anyone found a good TV Guide app? Or a good Stocks/Shares app?

I've got a few apps downloaded, free ones atm, and some paid for in my wish list waiting for a week Friday.
Going to get Worms HD, Let's Golf HD and hopefully, as it's not on the UK app store yet, Scrabble.
One weather app I l,ike the look of is Weather HD. It shows you a, generic, video of the weather in your area. Looks cool for 59p. Also I am going to get Night Stand HD and have a huge clock at night.
Gonna be a lot of fun downloading a hell of a lot of apps on the 28th.

Hi Vader,
Thanks for the tip on Things, looks like a great task manager, but looks like it's missing the ability to take a lot of notes.
Maybe I'll give it a try when I get the iPad on the 28th and see if between that and the default 'Notes' application I can get by.

Have you looked at Evernote? Not sure it'll do what you need but its free on pretty much on all popular platforms and works well.

A combination of Penultimate, a good stylus and Evernote will do the trick if you want to hand-write notes. If you're typing, then just use Evernote.
Cheers for the info guys.
Had used evernote before and it works well and like the fact that I have the ability to synch between multi devices. It is really good in regards to capturing notes from each meeting and sharing that info. It also has the ability to capture :ToDo (Actions), but the downside it it doesn't allow me to allocate that action to a person and put a start time, deadline etc for the To DO.
I think Evernote is probably the closest application that I can use as one application to do most things.
I think at present I have to use to applications if I want to do the full Action management as well. As there seems to be a two streams of apps on e for actions/to dos (e.g. Things) and another for Note taking (.e.g Evernote).

Like I say, I'm using Penultimate to hand-write notes and then email them into Evernote. That way they get indexed and OCR run over them. As Mr Jobs would say - BOOM!

Just got it, and you're right - it is!
Question on the newpaper apps that are currently on the market.
Do they download the daily paper as the Kindle does overnight via wifi, or do you pro-actively have to get the newspaper via the app.
Also does the paper fully download to the ipad so that you can read it in off-line mode, when your not connected to either wifi or 3G?

Anyone got any good Apps?
I've got Bloomberg, SketchBook Pro, Weather HD, Zinio and ArtStudio.

1Password is excellent, they just need to fix the bookmark issue with Safari (and make it work fully with multi-tasking when it comes in).
I agree with GoodReader on that list, add Dropbox to it as well although if you buy GoodReader then you don't need the native Dropbox app.

Just a note the App store is now open from the device with iTunes accounts outside the U.S.
